Can I use this for testing a speaker? If I connect the tone generator clips to the ends of a speaker wire, will that speaker produce a tone?

Yes sir you can .. It applies on all type of wires . You can even attach only one clip of the wire tracer and still hear the feedback but it will only be on the single wire you attached the wire tracer clip to. Best result is obtained when to attach both clip red and black to any dual wire if you have one ..even cable wire ..

This is just a mixer, it will not modify the sound. Use this to modify the levels not the quality of the sound.

you would need to match ohms/watts; also if you will send different than bass signal - this little bastard will work like extremely bad quality speaker... also turning up the voice will be sending adequate signal so complete silence or overdriving will suck...

yes, the tester inserts the tone into the circuit but you have to have the probe to hear it.

Neil Snyder's answer above mine is correct. I suggest making a test run on a known wire to see how the instrument responds when you move away from it laterally, and when you reach the wire's end or simulated break.

Some of our gear has spring clips for speaker wire. I always tin the bare wire for spring clips, and tinned 16 AWG stranded fits fine in our home setup. For bigger stranded, just trim away some of the strands before you tin the end, or attach pin tips (available in crimp/solder or clamp style) bought from an electronics supplier. Either way works fine.

Your amp should have "out" terminals on the back colored red and black. They usually allow you to connect striped raw speaker wire and clamp down.

Its really only used to identify where the wire is broken. Connecting the tone generator (red Clip) on the wire in question and then setting the sensitivity on the hand piece and then moving the hand piece along the harness until it stops beeping.Using a multimeter to check from pin to pin on both ends of the harness will give you a continuity check and find if you have a broken wire. Using the Triplett 3399 will show you where it is broken so that you can make a repair.Best of luck

Yes, but it all depends on your ohm load. Once your wire the woofers up, you must test them to see what ohm load the amp will see. Im not sure what ohm stable the amp is, so you might check that also which would give you a target ohm load to reach.

Hi, not quite sure, my question to you is how old is your speaker wire...what gauge..any green anywhere on those conductors..did you do any splices anywhere even the signal wire for a double sub setup has to be done right double check every input jack for wear at the strain reliefs. Hookup one set at time and test at each add

No, I am using the stock speaker wire. However, I do plan to replace it soon as it is quite small. It works fine but tends to easily get pulled out of the spring clips on the speaker if tugged slightly. I plan to use a couple of gauges heavier wire.

Interesting idea. Two things to consider is although this unit has a wide range it is incremental not continuous (decimal values) which may not give you resonants (natural) you may want. Also I am guessing you will need to amplify the output to accomplish a level for the effects you need.

I don't recall having that sound.. I would trouble shoot the whole project.. Starting with speaker is in good shape the connections the wires then try the knobs and.check the wires from battery mine actually worked out good and.I purchased 5 Amps from 5 diffrent brands in the same price range and this one is not to shady. Just make sure your all good on ur end if problem continues I would say ask for replacement

I have tried and no, is not a good option. The frecuencies are not the same and won't have a good quality. Sounds empty. I don't know if it damages the amp because i only did it a few times just to try it out and had no damage at all but i guess that if you do it frequently surely will cause damage to the speaker.

It's easy to use and figure out. We use ours through a small amp speaker and through a mixer with PA type speakers. I am afraid to say 100% for sure it will work with your set up, seems like it should unless there is no amplifier to push the sound. It's a great product for the money, especially if you need something small and simple.

No.. The only way to ensure it's the correct wire is to cause a short between the pairs while the tone is on the line. Once you release the dead short the tone will change which will verify it's the correct wire. Otherwise you either have the wrong wire or something is between the EOL(end of line) and your tone.

You should be able to. I have only used it to amplify the sound from my bass, but it should work.
